hello everyone my name is amy and i was just banded on 8/29/08 in tj mexico. my surgeon was wonderful, dr.juan lopez corvala, the hospital was extremely clean and the staff was great. all in all it was a great experience and i am glad "i finally did it":thumbup: i look foward to meeting everyone. i started off just reading the posts and i found this site to not only be informative and helpful but entertaining at the same time so i decided to join! i really need a support system of people who have been there done that to help me get through some of the tough and confusing times ahead. i hope i will be able to offer support to others as well...:smile:
